Cool.

It's a tree.
No, it's a heart.
Wait. It's a critter.
What IS it?
Tell us your inspiration so that we (I) might find some enlightenment, O Improbable Art Sacker.

Thanks, Joe. I can't really tell you what it is. For one reason I like to allow the viewer their own interpretations. Another reason I can't is because of the process by which most of my personal illustrative work is achieved. I start out with laying done gesture lines on the paper — curves, arcs, tics, etc. — that eventually start to form an image that I follow from there. More of an unconscious way of approaching the drawing process. At some point I do consciously take over and realize there are things there I am seeing that appeal to me or I want to continue working on. I have also begun taking my work and turning it to see if using the drawing in a different way could be more appealing. This piece is a prime example of all those processes.
